The Scottish leaders of high flight Celtic would look at their position in the most sensible of the Premier League when they receive third place Dundee United.
Celtic ended their remarkable 18-match unbeaten run after a disappointing defeat in the Old Firm Derby. However, the Bhoys bounced back with a similar score against St Mirren. Despite a setback against Rangers, Celtic have an 11-point lead at the top of the Scottish Premiership table.
A similar story occurred for Dundee who halted their three-game winning streak with a dismal 1-0 defeat to Heart. Still, they have a story of rejuvenation after facing relegation in 2023. The Tangerines are third in the table with 6 points behind second-placed Rangers.

This is what it was like in the United States:
Celtic will be missing James Forrest (foot) and Odin Thiago Holm (calf) for this match. The duo is in the process of recovery and would possibly return later this month.
Luke McCowan and Arne Engels will be retained in the midfield. Rodgers already made changes in the previous game, thanks to a setback from Rangers.
Celtic predicted XI (4-3-3, on the left): Schmeichel (GK) – Johnston, Carter -vickers, Trusty, Valle – McCowan, McGregor, Engels – Kuhn, Idah, Palma.
Injured: forrest, holmsuspeded: none
As for Dundee United, Craig Sibbald (Groin) and Louis Mault (ER) will remain absent. The two return in the last week of this month.
Richard Odada and Miller Thomson will be at the start of the lineup after a poor outing in the loss.
Jim Goodwin can rotate his team and check out the bench players early in the moment half.
St. Mirren predicted Xi (3-4-3, left): Walton (GK) – Strain, Adegboyega, Holt, Ferry —Docherty, Sevelj – Middleton, Stephenson, Trapanovski – Dalby.
Injured: Sibbald, Moursuspeidido: None
Celtic struggled during Dundee United’s Christmas week, but Rodgers has stepped up in those areas. A loss to the Rangers is a blessing in disguise for the Celtics, who will become more potent in the coming games. Bhoys at home is tricky as we expect a Celtic win on Wednesday.
All the time and
